Starting with Discourse 1.9.0.beta16, adding a staff color highlights only the text instead of the whole post as it did prior. This may be by design but thought I would check.

**Steps to reproduce:**

- Add staff color to a post.

**Expected Behavior:**

- Post changes color.

**Actual Behavior:**

- Only the text is highlighted.

I created the full color post by tweaking the HTML in chrome by adding “cooked” to the class for the post.

Yes. It is by design. Not a bug.
